The ornithological behaviorist determined the cause in short
order. When crows eat road kill, they always set-up a look-out crow
in a nearby tree or on a telephone wire to warn of impending danger.
His conclusion was that while all the lookout crows could say
"Cah," but none could say "Truck."

I heard that they found about 200 dead crows near Topeka, KS.........................

True story... I have driven 3,000,000 miles and have hit all kinds of birds, including an owl that dive bombed me and aaaalmost went completely thru the windshield. I have never hit a crow. I have never seen anyone hit a crow. They're just too smart I guess.

True story... When I was 17 I got my pilot's license. My dad was also a pilot. He and I went on a short flight together one day. As we coming in for a landing on our return leg a duck crossed our path. It hit the plexiglass windshield of our plane. Never saw it coming. I've never heard a bang so loud. It didn't break the windshield but when we got on the ground we had to clean duck feathers and innards out from under the aluminum at the top edge of the windshield.

Awakened early at the hospital and saw your post. Twisty, Andy and I all have experience with the GoPro. Don't know what edition you have or accessories. The suction cup mount worked well for me inside and out. Couple of tips I was given: make sure the area you mount the suction cup on is clean, make sure if its on the windshield and you need to use the windshield wipers that they clear the camera, the suction cup could possibly damage your tint, although mine did not. I had mine mounted inside and the glare headed into the sun wasn't optimal, but I could charge it in the case. Outside I couldn't charge it but my wifi bacpac with the phone app allowed me to turn the camera on and off and start and stop it. The wifi bacpac couldn't be turned on and off as far as I could tell. I had it mounted outside and took it on the road getting up to 80 or so and on the drag strip getting up to around 90. Good luck

I hear you shouldn't leave it mounted in a parked car due to heat, just throwing that out there.

Are you going thru Yellowstone? AMAZING country

I don't have a gopro, I have a Vicovation... best one I could find that loop records I need constant recording, gopro doesn't loop, and doesn't care if you leave it in a parked vehicle... no batteries to explode.

Oh, sorry, thought your advice was from gopro experience. I always dismounted it if we were not with the car so it wouldn't be stolen. Didn't take it off inside the car and didn't have issues. I did take it off at night to transfer the video to the laptop.

I don't think it's common but they say nimh batts can pop in high heat. Better safe than sorry.

Ongoing Prayers for your Mom Diane. Take care of yourself too!What a seriously busy day at work! I am beat but have more work to do. I am absolutely NOTgoing to sit up too late working on it though. When I get tired I am going to bed no matter how much is done. Later crew.

A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other if there is sex after death.
After a long life together, the husband was the first to die. True to his word, he made the first contact:
" Marion .... Marion "
"Is that you, Bob?"
"Yes, I've come back like we agreed."
"That's wonderful! What's it like?"
"Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast and then it's off to the golf course. I have sex again, bathe in the warm sun and then have sex a couple of more times. Then I have lunch (you'd be proud - lots of greens). Another romp around the golf course, then pretty much have sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, it's back to golf course again. Then it's more sex until late at night. I catch some much needed sleep and then the next day it starts all over again"
"Bob, Are you in Heaven?"
"No -- I'm a rabbit somewhere in Iowa or Kansas ”

Good morning crew. I awoke feeling surprisingly rested after going to bed at midnight. I did not get all my work done so I will start my day already behind. If I don't earn a big bonus this quarter I am going to be majorly pissed off! This will be hte last time I will probably ever be earning a bonus. This is just not worth it. The storms we were supposed to get fizzled out & we just got rain & a little lightning. That is fine with me, we don't need that mess. Coffee time! Have a good Thursday everyone.
